Critical Introduction to an Anthology
In your Critical Introduction you MUST:
Justify your choice of stories
Why have you chosen these particular stories?
What unifies them?
What might your choice of stories reveal about the nature of short fiction or the particular approach to the genre you wish to discuss in the critical introduction?
Structure the discussion around a series of cogent arguments relevant to your anthology theme.
Make sure the critical introduction is purposive in its discussion.
Use close textual analyses of the texts to support and develop the discussion.
What larger questions about the nature of short fiction can your analyses of these stories answer?
